My understanding is that the hops are the main culprit, so - more hops, more prollems. But I could be wrong. (Or my wife could just be psyop-ing me.) Either way, I'm happier without the daily end-of-day "barley pop."

I feel your pain. There was weeping and gnashing of teeth when I learned.

On the bright side, Scotch/gin/vodka not nearly as bad for you--and no "bloat" factor.

I regret to inform you that beer (especially IPAs) are estrogenic.

Well, sure.

- fixed supply, uninflatable

- no CEO, no corporate HQ address, no "cult of personality"

- distributed and auditable

- unconfiscatable

- strong cryptography

etc

Good cause; bad investment (IMHO). You become a creditor. If schools/orgs don't pay their bills, you don't get your "dividend."

Has anyone read Julian Assange's [Cypherpunks : freedom and the future of the internet](https://amzn.to/3waxNz8)? Thoughts?

Is there a best book on the history of the #cypherpunk vs gov movement? Key players, not overly technical explanations of the innovations in #cryptography, etc?

Someone posted [this](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/a-brief-history-of-the-nsa-attempting-to-insert-backdoors-into-encrypted-data) recently and it made me want to go down the rabbit hole...

Precious gift. We tell our kids that their siblings can be built-in friends for life, if they are only friendly toward them. "Blood is thicker than water."

A TOAST

To those who went before us--with gratitude for what we have received;

To those who stand beside us--may we be faithful guardians while it is ours;

To those who come after us--may they receive with gratitude and be diligent stewards as well.

Sliánte!

Assuming #bitcoin takes over...

Without credit markets, there is no decision for entrepreneurs to make between profit or interest (on loaned capital). With an expanding population and market, simply holding bitcoin for its appreciation over time likely replaces the interest option.

But if lowering interest rates don't provide a signal that people are deferring consumption (and therefore it's time to invest), where might entrepreneurs look for this important information? I suppose some kind of weighted velocity of transactions might be informative.

Then again, with multi-sig options I suppose there is no reason we couldn't have credit markets.

Who else is talking about this kind of thing?

The guide suggested rasp lite, with gui stuff removed. Then electrum. I don't know how seed signer works, but with this setup it's mostly command line. You could set up a watch-only hot wallet to receive and monitor and create transactions. Export the unsigned transaction file, sign it with the pi zero, move it back to hot wallet and broadcast. It sounds involved but it's not that bad once you get the hang of it.
